Abstract:
... As much as grain cleaning is carried out before storage, it is not feasible to completely remove all impurities, and part of them are still present during the loading of the grains into the storage bin. Grain loading into silos and storage bins is carried out using an equipment called grain spreader, which can vary its shape and size according to the volume of grains. The main purpose of using gra ...

Abstract:
... A wide range of species relies on heterospecific visual cues to detect the location of resources like food. Although different hypotheses have been suggested to explain the emergence of this capacity in animals, results are often difficult to interpret due to the influence of other factors, such as close contact with humans. In this study, we presented eight Southern ground-hornbills (Bucorvus lea ...

Abstract:
... Municipal solid waste (MSW) composting is one of the most effective strategies for MSW management but detrimental litter such as plastic and glass debris must be discarded elsewhere. Well-segregated wastes are necessary in this context. A compost bin is a waste collection tool for source separation. To date, the deployment of compost bins for source separation has received scant investigation. Thi ...
